Who am I?

I am Tanush Chauhan, a senior at Lebanon Trail High School with a strong passion for computer science. I am proficient in JavaScript, Java, C++, React JS, Python, and more. I am committed to hard work, collaboration, and taking initiative

What is my mission?

I aim to deepen my understanding of artificial intelligence and leverage this knowledge to develop a product that enhances early cancer detection. I will document my research and discoveries throughout this journey, contributing to the broader scientific community. My goal is to push the boundaries of technology and make a meaningful impact on healthcare, ultimately improving the lives of those affected by cancer.

What is my topic and end product idea?

My topic for this year’s Independent Study and Mentorship project is utilizing artificial intelligence for early skin cancer detection. My ultimate goal is to develop a mobile application that incorporates the AI model I create, making it accessible to the general public for early diagnosis and awareness.
